Many hear the call of the deeps, tempting the soul like a siren’s song. Some only hear this call in fleeting dreams, but for others, the sea’s beckoning whisper gradually becomes an undeniable roar. | |||
Some (by their count) fortunate souls find themselves claimed by the depths. Transformed by the presence of elder gods from the lowest inky deeps, these “Chosen” sprout aquatic tentacles from their face and head. Some might manifest other aquatic adaptations, such as fish scales, barnacle growths, and the like. | |||
